I am no ghost, no phantom
And I’ve chosen to be with you.
We go together, bound for life.
Your light may drown me out by day,
But I am always with you
Beyond the blue sky.
When your light recedes,
contained and settled in the moon,
Gentle against the black night,
......
Blindfold tied tight
Breathing too fast
Got to move on
Can’t be the last
Leaves underfoot
Roots grab my feet
Got to move on
Can’t miss a beat
Rope in my hand
......
When duty calls
And nature crawls from the swamp
Muddy, decayed,
Proud, unafraid,
I’ve never stopped.
Stopped.
Dead in my tracks.
Where there’s no love,
My heart contracts.
Where there’s no love,
......
Who am I to decide?
Who am I to choose who lives and dies?
All boats float on a rising tide
I see what’s worthy
And this scurvey sea dog
Is not so impervious
To the ravages of time any more.
Any more? Any more for any more?
Last orders at the bar
Then we’ll show you the door.
......
Echoes and reflections
A living hall of mirrors
Deep in the ground
Drawing from the well
Piecing together
Shard by shard
Glittering wholeness
......
Blindfold tied tight
Breathing too fast
Got to move on
Can’t be the last
Leaves underfoot
Roots grab my feet
Got to move on
Can’t miss a beat
Rope in my hand
